What should I enhance on my trailer for truck doesn't tip over so easily?

[LipeLeandro]

When I'm running 100mh my truck sometimes wants to tip over easily, is there a way to enhance my trailer to get more stable trailer that doesn't tip over so easily?

 

What can I do? I accept tips coming from old and experienced truckers.

[Miyu*]

Drive slower. If you are pulling cargoes, it is suggested to drive slower and preferred under the speed limit. Trailer with heavy cargo is pretty unstable and that's the same in real life.

 

Increase the trailer stability in game settings. Although the minimum one is the most realistic one, you can always set the stability to maximum, that should work

 

Use mouse steering or wheels. This game requires delicated movements and keyboard steering gives you almost instant 100% left, neutral, and 100% right and it makes your trailer easier to flip over.

The best solution: Slow down. Anything top heavy has less chances to tip over when it turns at much lower velocity due to centrifugal forces applied to vehicle. You've probably experienced these forces already while being passenger of someone's car.

its not recommended to take 90degree turns with full speed. 

 

generaly the most used parts of the map are changed with 1.40  so driving slow is a must. 

 

also if you already know your rig is easy to tip off then driving slower or changing your driving style is  self-explanatory

 

 

and i have to disagree with Miyus statement  the lowest setting is the most unrealistic ....  

[ChillSkies]

One thing which i highly suggest is slowing a little bit before corner then when you are halfway in the corner speed back up. It seems to work.
 

But also I want to point out that the game has speed limits for a reason so if you’re caught flying round roads way above limits don’t be surprised if you get reported for reckless driving or a mod pulls you over to talk about it  have great day and remember, drive safe everyone!!

I can't compare to real life from personal experience, but I have found my sweet spot at 25% stability (both truck and trailer 0.125) and 20% suspension stiffness (0.2)

But what about people performing U-turns at 50km/h, isn't that much less realistic than the lowest setting (although I suspect hacks in those cases)?

In my opinion, the most unrealistic part of the game are extreme curves on many motorways and highways.

 

I never had problem with my setup, but my recommendations are:

Keep to the speed limits, although it doesn't necessarily mean you are 100% safe, you still need to slow when necessary.

Brake early and slow down gradually, never at last moment or too hard, if it's raining brake even earlier. Exhaust brake and retarder are your friends.

It's easy, actually. Trucks are not Formula 1 cars or Ferraris, the center of gravity in the rig is a lot higher, so the only way to avoid tipping over is: take the turns at an appropriate speed. But you can, like others said, put your stability settings at maximum values (all to the right). I use lowered stabilities and suspensions, almost the same as Granite and I'm sick of seeing people taking those looped highway entrances (the ones with 40 Km/h limit signals) at 80-90 Km/h like nothing. I try that faster than 60 Km/h and my truck will most likely do a full "Fosbury" over the guardrail...

Your trailer tends to tip over because you're driving too fast.

 

If you adapt your driving behavior and speed to the traffic condition, the road condition, the weather condition, the cargo and your driving skills, you will eliminate the risk of an accident.

In the game settings, try moving the responsible sliders to the right as far as possible for trailer stability and suspension stiffness.

I thought the report was only to reckless driving after an accident or slamming in others 

[wesleyr99]

Drive slowly and carefully around curves, avoiding sharp turns 

[ChillSkies]

@Felipe Leandroreckless driving is reckless driving. If they are driving insane and other users are on the road you can report for reckless driving as far as i know. (Mods feel free to correct me please if im wrong)

like i mentioned before i had spend a few years as a co-driver and i never noticed the Rig swinging form full suspention block to full suspention block at the lowest speeds like in this game. 

 

what i do noticed (i got three Industry parks in my area) every trucker plows around the corner with a speed i would never ever dare to do with my own car , and their cabin barly moves , nor the suspention show any big momentum shift while turning.

No there is plenty of stuff where you dont hit other people or get into an accident that can get you banned. A great example is all the people overtaking on the Calais Duisburg road. Overtaking is allowed. But plenty of people are overtaking when there is oncoming traffic. And that is not allowed. A lot of them will then drive on to the grass to get past the oncoming traffic. You are not supposed to drive on the grass. So all of a sudden because you overtake when there is oncoming traffic, you create a dangerous situation. And so you get banned. Its the same when there is a big queue on the Calais Duisburg road. Someone then dosent want to wait in line, so they overtake that queue. Then that again is reckless driving. Cause you are not supposed to overtake a queue like that. You should stay in line and wait. Its reckless to overtake a queue like that.  So But also if you drive down the highway and you are going from side to side. That can also be reckless. Cause what if someone comes from behind and overtake you and you almost hit them because you are changing lanes back and forth? Thats reckless. So there are plenty of options to getting a ban for reckless driving. Just remember, that this is a simulator. If you wouldent do it in real life traffic, then dont do it here. 

Now as for the question at the start. Like a lot of people have said, the easiest way of not tilting over, is slowing down. But i also recommend going into your settings and setting your trailer stability to max. I do that even if i mostly only drive 90km/h.

I see a lot of that in game, overtaking to right and left, without Turning on the arrow, I'm a professional driver, I spent days playing Scania truck simulator, which is a version of ets2 just for practicing and getting a license, on city car driving too, I practiced a lot, so when is about traffic and rights I know more than anyone, the only thing I need to get use to is the trailer stability, but I see that speed is a factor, even slowing down the cargo wants to tip over, that happens a lot in real life with heavy load, It is needed much experience to manage that, only time can fix that.

Hello @Oleandro

 

You can use these two code's under the console section.

g_trailer_stability 

g_truck_stability

What do these codes will do exactly? Is that work?

[Titanic4]

The first variable sets the trailer stability while the second one sets truck's stability. In TruckersMP these variables are clamped to specific values. 

[happymeso]

g_trailer_stability 0

g_truck_stability 0

 

Just slow down, it's a simulation game.

[FernandoCR [ESP]]

Even when I love my game with stabilities and suspensions at 0 settings, I wouldn't recommend to use those in MP. To easy to flip your vehicle if you are not very careful, in single player it's no problem, in MP you can flip into the vehicle driving on your side and... REC BAN.

Asi says to take a truck with more axles or to drive slower so you will decrease the probability of overturning.

[AABattery]

Try driving slower, especially around turns. If you want to go faster, try putting more axles on the trailer, so the weight is more evenly distributed.
